I just bought the phone and I'm experiencing a screen flickering. At the time it occurs the screen becomes unresponsive. The bottom 3/4th part turns black. It keeps on flickering. The audio works when it occurs, but touch won't . It happens occasionally.

Maybe it occurs coz one day my phone dropped to the ground.
Any help would be appreciated.
[Update] : This happens only when using YouTube for a long time.

What is OG youtube..??

Probably due to hardware damage.

Thats the problem of YouTube not of the phone
Contacted huawei customer care regarding the same problem, they gave me an ota update which fixed the problem.
I used to get it but stopped having it. i didnt get any update. maybe it was youtubes issue after all
It's because of in-built YouTube application.. same happening to me as well. Finding a way to uninstall in-built YouTube app and download it again from playstore
It's not the phone's fault
YouTube isn't optimised for the phone yet so there might be some issues like the one you mentioned, but i haven't seen this problem yet at all.
Thank you everyone those who answered my question.
The problem was solved after clearing the data and updating the app.

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos
Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.
i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange
To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?
Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.
is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..
try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

Ah I assumed that it was constantly like that. I assume factory resets have been tried

it seems a problem with the 'internet' browser, hopefully a software issue.uw

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Try it with other browser. I believe it is the screen defect. Mine doesn't hv those glitches issues mentioned in the forum nor the yellow tint problem

Same here. I also haven't this problem also not in the standard browser.
Haven't noticed that myself over the 5 days I've had the phone.

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...
Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.
I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.
my brand new device is undergoing new screen problem, suddenly the screen started to flicker repeatively all the time, flickers are restricted to right lower bottom of the screen almost with no stop. touch is still working fine all over the screen as I guess. have anyone expressed such a problem or have an idea what's wrong? no history of falling of the device by the way, thx
edit: I be uploaded a video of a user showing the exact problem' waiting for the answer...
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58583
seems to be a common problem to some extend, no answers yet!
I face the same problem ? Is there any solution to this?

So, brand new thing I have ran into recently is that no matter what app I use when I turn the phone horizontal the screen goes black and I can't see the video. Any tips to fix this? I am rooted with xposed.
Is there a screen protector or cover possibly causing this issue?
Have you restarted? (Had a similar issue and restart fixed it)
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA
There is at least one other thread about this. Try the search to see if they found a fix. I had something similar, but only with mp4 files, no matter which app I used. Partial or completely black screen, but the sound was fine. It went away for me with the last firmware update.
No case on there for me.
Hi,
I encountered this problem and have a thread on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/video-playback-issue-ze550ml-2-18-40-7-t3139304). Basically, I had to perform a factory reset in order to fix it. Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Hi, did you managed to fix the problem and how if you did?
I have already performed factory reset with the last update 9/7/15 but still have the same problem.
Is it video files or does this also happen with YouTube and other streaming apps?
Just videos, camera videos that I took and others, Youtube works normaly

Asus Splendid was the problem, it was disabled and after enabling and updating it works normally.
If someone have the same problem ...
Video turns black - unfreeze Splendit and autostart

Thanks a lot. That safed me hours of searching! I was just starting to think about the videocodec and all other things I changed..... Would have led me in the wrong direction.....
I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Question, do you have Google keyboard installed? Because I just removed Google keyboard and installed SwiftKey and it looks like the problem is gone....

Nope, I use Swiftkey from the beginning. Only LG stock keyboard is installed.
Mm, I've got LG keyboard freezed with TB and after changing from Google keyboard to SK, the problem is gone

Interesting. Not keen on rooting though. =\
So you reckon it's just a software issue?

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?
Hey brothers,
My huawei started to have Ghost/Unresponsive keyboard/home button issues. happens like 5% of the time, turning screen off/on solves the issue (screen gets re-calibrated or something?)
Anyway, I have used some apps like multitouch etc from the play store, same result, you get a dead spot that does not respond to touches..
Anyway,
1. Does anyone else have this issue?
2. What are the options? I still have like 6 months warranty
The screen is clean, even removing the screen protector does not solve the issue, so I believe this is a hardware issue. Tips/ advice is welcome
Same mate 20X Ghost touch screen issue
The same issue happened to my mate 20x too. Started yesterday. It will keep on auto bring down my notifications bar or sometimes none responsive notifications bar when I tried to bring it down manually.. I've removed my factory default screen protector but it won't helps. I also recorded this screen problem using another hp..
It happens in some apps like shakes the screen and then back to normal. Dont know hardware or software issue
my mate 20 start to click all over, even sending messages and opening apps, its like its possesed sometimes, maybe its an electrical problem, how can i solve this}?
